Jude-1 appraisal well completed in the Danish North Sea

The appraisal well Jude-1 confirmed the presence of oil in the Lower Cretaceous Tuxen Formation of the Bo South deposit.

As operator of license 8/06, subarea B, Maersk Oil (Mærsk Olie og Gas A/S) has drilled the appraisal well Jude-1 (5504/7-18) in the south western part of the Danish North Sea.

Jude-1 was drilled as a vertical data acquisition well with three stratigraphic targets: Lower Cretaceous Chalk, Upper Jurassic Farsund shale and potential sandstones within the underlying Farsund Formation.

The well confirmed the presence of oil in the Lower Cretaceous Tuxen Formation of the Bo South deposit proven by earlier wells in the area. Fluid samples and logs were acquired for further characterization of the discovery.

Coring was undertaken and further data and fluid samples were acquired from the Farsund oil shale.

The well did not encounter the prognosed sandstones in the underlying part of the Farsund Formation.
